VALPARAISO, Ind. – The Drake University softball team (14-28, 7-13) completed their second-straight sweep away from home with a convincing 8-0 win over Valparaiso. The Bulldogs jumped on Valpo (8-33, 4-16) early and often in the five-inning victory.
Drake scored at least one run in each of the first four innings, started by a two-RBI single off the bat of in the top of the first frame. Lightner's base knock brought both and home.
Lehman continued Drake's attack in the next inning with an infield single that allowed to scamper homer. Lehman later scored her second run of the game and collected her first in the same stanza when Valtman doubled to right center for two more.
